Perhaps it's trying to avoid poor sales that all roguelikes besides the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games succumbed to in the US, or maybe it's banking on how starved Wii owners are for RPGs of any type. Who knows? Fortunately, Shiren the Wanderer is a game good enough to satisfy both hardcore roguelike fans and RPG-lovers alike with perhaps the deepest turn-based Wii game to date.Alicia AshbyWed, 10 Feb 2010 15:30:00 +1100http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/atlus/shiren_the_wanderer/335748/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=authorfeedMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Storyhttp://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/nintendo_australia/mario_luigi_bowser_s_inside_story/318795/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=authorfeedAlthough he's caused Mario and his friends all kinds of headaches, King Bowser has slowly evolved into one of the most lovable characters in the Nintendo universe. He's lived in Mario's shadow for most of his career but he's finally getting some much deserved time in the spotlight in Bowser's Inside Story, a wacky RPG that centers on the self-centred and wilfully stupid monarch.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beathttp://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/nintendo_australia/new_play_control_donkey_kong_jungle_beat/302861/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=authorfeedThere is a certain logic behind the New Play Control! versions of games like Metroid Prime and Pikmin. We know new Wii iterations of both series are on the way in, so it makes sense to want to play the old ones with Wii controls, to get a taste of what's coming. Nintendo's inclusion of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat in the New Play Control! line feels a little more inexplicable.Alicia AshbyTue, 12 May 2009 17:05:00 +1000http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/nintendo_australia/new_play_control_donkey_kong_jungle_beat/302861/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=authorfeed
